BoULANGER's POPULARITY.
The Chamber of Deputies Rejects Gen
Ferron's Proposals.


PARIS, June 29.--The commission of the
Chamber of Deputies appointed to examine
and report upon the proposals relative TO
the army submitted by Gen. Ferron, the
new Minister of War. rejected them to-day.
The rejection of the proposals has caused a
sensation.
Newspapers assert that Gen. Boulanger
was unaware of the governments in
tention to appoint him to command
OF the Thirteenth army corps un-
til he saw the announcement of
the actual appointment in the press The
statement is reiterated that the appointment
was made for the express purpose of getting
Gen. Boulanger away from Paris during the
national fetes and review in July, and thus
preventing him from. by his presence,
tempting the people into demonstration in
his favor and against Germany The
police have confiscated 6he entire issue of a
picture representing Gen. Boulanger as the
savior OF France, prepared for distribution
during the fetes.
THE STATEMENT PREMATURE.
PARIS, June 80, ? A. E.--The statement
that Gen. Ferron's proposals had been re-
jected by the committee to which they
were referred appears to have been errone-
Gus. 1t is now stated that the committee
will come to no decision in the matter until
Saturday next.

CINcINNATrs WRECKED BANK.
The Principle on Which the Comp

The Principle on Which the Comp
troller Will Base His Course.
CINCINNATI, June 29.-David Armstrong
has had his bond as receiver of the Fidelity
National Bank accepted, and he is now in
charge Of the affairs of the defunct institu-
ton. Comptroller of the Currency Tren-
holm and Solicitor of the Treasury Nc
Cue went to Washington tonight. Mr.
Trenholm said that he would deal with this
bank upon the principle that National
Banks hold a flduciary relation TO the pub
lie, and that the profits upon stock are in
part consideration for the proper dis
charge of the trust by the officers chosen by
the stockholders, and when, as in the case
of tlh Fidelity Bank, this trust was be
trayed by the officers, it is the duty of the
government to award exemplary punish
ment not only TO the men active in
wrong-doing, but also TO those who, being
in position TO protect the interests of depos-
itors neglected or omitted TO discharge that
duty. Comptroller Trenholm will declare a
dividend as soon as the necessary data can
be collected. Joseph +. Larlzin, President of
the Cincinnati National Bank, to-day re
signed, and Franklin Alter was chosen in his
place. Rumors having arisen that this ac-
ton was demanded by Comptroller Tren-
holm, that officer stated that there was no
foundation whatever for the story, that the
bank had not been under suspension, and
that the change was purely voluntary one.

HOOVER SOCIETIES.
The Organization Spreading in South
Carolina

SdIOllild.
CHARLEsToN, June 20 Reports from the
interior of the State are to the effect that tho
organization of what are known as "Hoo-
ver' societies is spreading rapidly, which is
not surprising in view of the advertisement
Hoover received in Georgia, and in this
state, The scare in LauTens seems to have
passed away. There does not appear to have
been any reasonable cause for II. according
10 the statements o., a number of prominent
Laurens people, but it has had the effect of
bringing tho Hoover movement into noto-
rlety, and as result, new >cieties are re-
ported in every direction. The latest news
is that the laborers in Pickens and
Greenville counties, in both Of
which the whites are largely in
the majority have organized societies which
embrace both whites and negroes. If this be
true 1t will not be long before the Hoover
movement, which at first seems to have been
harmless enough, will begin to develop into
political movement a result for which the
whites can blame nobody but themselves
A prominent citizen of Greenville writes to
friend here that there is real danger of
that kind now, There couldn he says,
have been no objection to the negro farm
hands organizing secret societies. Such
societies would have been abso-
ntely harmless and would have
probably kept the negroes out of
greater mischief. The negro in this State
can hardly be called farm laborer, for the
reason that fully three-fourths of the race
are either renters or work on shares, so that
there is not much to regulate in the way Of
wages. Besides this, the laws of the State
are so framed that the land owner is fully
protectedf Why, then, make all this fuss
about secret society among the negroes.
1t was great mistake, and fear il will in
the future lead to trouble

A STRIKE NOW IMPROBABLE.

The Iron Workers Modify the De-
mands on Their Employers
PITTsBURG, June 29.-The modified scale
Of TIE iron workers was submitted to the
manufacturers committee this afternoon
Nearly all the extras which were tackled on
the scale were stricken Off, leaving simply
the demand for an increase of 10 per cent
to puddlers and fnishers. The manufac-
turers ask for the same classification
for sheet mills as last year
They also ask TO have the twelve-inch
mill scale and the roll turner's schedule
stricken off. With these notifications they
say they will sign the scale. All the indica-
tions now point to an amicable adjustment
of the difficulties and that the threatened
strike will be averted. Everything was in
readiness to shut down tomorrow, but il is
now believed that work will go straight
ahead until hot weather forces a suspen-

Out or Net Earnings.
New York, June 29.-Powers & Co., of
Lansingburg, N. Y, have applied for an
injunction to restrain the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company from paying
the dividend of per cent. ordered by the
Board of Directors. They hold $50, 900 of
debenture bonds of the company, interest
being in arrears four years Before Judge
Lawrence in the Supreme Court to-day it was
contended that the contemplated payment
was in violation of the provisions of
the bonds; that no dividends should be paid
to stockholders until all arrearages of inter
est were fully paid. For the directors, the
counsel responded that the court would not
interfere with the payment of the dividend
from proceeds to which bondhoders were
not entitled, being the proceeds Of sales of
certain stocks and bonds and not net earn
ings The decision was reserved.
